at the present moment in time i am running stock ports but am looking at doing a rebuild later this year and will be definately be doing some sort of port then, at the minute tho i will be running it on low boost just to get me back on the road,  

i know what ya all gonna say bout running stock ports but believe you me i want all the power i can get and ports is whats holdin me back at the minute:(

it will be good when you get it built and ported but it will be quite painfully laggy until then.   Is Warthogs a normal T51r,they look smaller than the Kai and the SPL according to the chart.

Even on a heavily ported REW these turbos dont make full boost until 5500 - 6000 rpm, Warthogs is an RE engine and i think his max boost is over 5000 rpm.

The only answer is a half bridge    you know you want to!

yeah i know antnicuk, and yes i know a half bridge is the way forward as thats all everyone talks bout lol!:p

i aint to sure on the differences on porting if you can shed some light tho dudes?

[antnicuk]

Very Basically the bigger/better the exhaust and inlet ports the earlier you will spool the turbo,  i dont think you make more ultimate power with a half bridge but you may have less lag.  Noise goes up, MPG goes down and your grin gets bigger.  

There is nothing quite like the sound of a T51 on full song though!

Of course all this is based on the supporting mods being done.
 I had a little head to head on the drag strip at north weald last month with an FD with a T51, he got me on the start but i managed to be 1.5 seconds quicker than him with a higher terminal.  No point sticking a huge turbo on it without everything else being done, i think he was quite shocked.  Looks like you have got a good starting point but i would do lots of research and speak to the tuners before doing anything and decide what you want to use the car for.

REX\'S LOOK AWESOME ON TRAILERS!!!:god just hope it dont have to be on one for a while now

[Warthog]

Believe it or not but you will get a good fuel consumption, I see 21 mpg. Reason being you are only in the turbo when you need to be.:wiggle

[leeincivic]

well when it was still runnin twins i was only gettin 240 miles out of a tank so thought it would be alot worse,

however if it was 1mpg am ok coz my main car is a clio diesel which does 50mpg so it cancels out any bad mpg on my rex right? lol:cheers
